Mormon Discussion’s podcast production is certainly not connected to The Mormon Church aka The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It also is most assuredly not approved or endorsed by Intellectual Reserve, Inc or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Any of the awesome content or the solid opinions expressed, implied or included in Mormon Discussion Inc’s awesome podcast lineup and production are solely those of Mormon Discussion Inc. and/or its program hosts and not those of Intellectual Reserve, Inc. or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Mormon Discussion Inc is a 501(c)(3) and is in the arena of journalistic work and is part of a free press. A free press is fundamental to a democratic society. It seeks out and circulates news, information, ideas, comment and opinion and holds those in authority to account. The press provides the platform for a multiplicity of voices to be heard. At national, regional and local level, it is the public’s watchdog, activist and guardian as well as educator, entertainer and contemporary chronicler. Under the “fair use” defense, however, another author may make limited use of the original author’s work without asking permission. Fair use is based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism.
The fair use privilege is perhaps the most significant limitation on a copyright owner’s exclusive rights.
Subject to some general limitations discussed later in this article, the following types of uses are usually deemed fair uses:
- Criticism and commentary: for example, quoting or excerpting a work in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment. A book reviewer would be permitted to quote passages from a book in a newspaper column, for example, as part of an examination of the book.
- News reporting: such as summarizing an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report. A journalist would be permitted to quote from a political speech’s text without the politician’s permission.
- Research and scholarship: perhaps quoting a short passage in a scholarly, scientific, or technical work for illustration or clarification of the author’s observations. An art historian would be able to use an image of a painting in an academic article that analyzes the painting.
- Nonprofit educational uses: for example, when teachers photocopy limited portions of written works for classroom use. An English teacher would be permitted to copy a few pages of a book to show to the class as part of a lesson plan.
- Parody: that is, a work that ridicules another, usually well-known, work by imitating it in a comic way. A comedian could quote from a movie star’s speech in order to make fun of that star.
Yikes. Super hard… and I haven’t even listened to this episode yet. After listening to this episode I suppose its all about what we are willing to do for love.
As we do things that the other doesn’t necessarily want to enjoy, I would hope the loving spouse returns the favor. Creating new traditions is tough, but there comes a breaking point when enough is enough.
Hopefully we have the conflict skills needed to create new and better traditions. Easier said than done, but it’s possible.
She dodged your statement about people being accountable for the things they say.
One thing that helps me get through church or confernece is to evaluate each speakers own revealed stance on religion and Mormonism and their progression within it to level 5, if possible.
The same for members at church. Many members are not so hard core, but some… I had not noticed, but the bishop seems to not be hard core, maybe going for level 4? Oh, and the 2 hour block makes it easier too.
Mixed faith? No, but our ideas differ and we have to discuss that and how far going to church may help or hinder us. Yes, there are some very nice people there, but not all. I noticed a huge attitude change in one couple, not so judgy and better than the “low downs” any more. Will have to scope that out some more.
My wife sees it as social, and I see it as some people and ideas to “tolerate,” or not. She was excommunicated (bishop roulette) years ago, but is more tolerant of the church and varying views than I can be at times. The real problem is family forcing their views for Christ and sure salvation (Slave-ation). Can’t they see they are worshiping Satan’s Plan, for Jesus? Of course not…
